When it rains it pours. Chris is stable, although he does have a bit of a fever-probably due to all of the "stuff" they did to him today. Carolyn and I went back to see him for about 10 minutes at 6pm. We left our stuff in the waiting room(never again!!) when we returned from our visit I discovered my backpack had been stolen-we had gotten too complacent-it was too bulky to take into Chris's room with all of the machines and whatnot, so we left in in our chairs in the empty waiting room. Well, security was called as were the local police. I've cancelled all of our credit cards, will contact our Credit Union on Monday and learned a lesson. I am most upset that my needlepoint belt (almost finished) is gone. The police are hopeful that they will find the backpack with some of the stuff still intact-we will see. Now, we'll haul everything back and forth into the ICU. To top off the evening-After Carolyn and I left Chris at 8pm-he was still doing well and the nurse was planning on an uneventful, restful evening for Chris-we went to eat at Applebee's. Well, the kitchen messed up my order completely. Our waitress was not happy. A manager came out and told us that our meal was "on the house," because it was their mistake. It was a nice surprise. I am off to bed-it has been a very loooong stress filled day. We will be looking for an easier tomorrow. Take care and keep your good thoughts and prayers heading to St. Mary's Hospital in Rochester, MN. Good Night. MJ
